Nine years ago, Kelsey Everette fled her dear hometown of Harmony Ridge, Tennessee with a broken heart. Now she's back to care for her favorite aunt after major surgery. Unfortunately someone else is helping Aunt Maggie too: the heartbreaker himself. No longer a teenaged pup, Trevor has grown into a strong and attractive wolf, but his deeply passionate heart hasn't changed...a heart he says still belongs to Kelsey.
As a wolf who changes form under the full moon, Trevor Sterling believed the girl he loved would have a better life without him. But there are consequences for a wolf who denies his mate. For nine years he's felt his wolf strength seeping away, a loss he has concealed from his entire pack. Then, one unexpected morning, Kelsey shows up in her aunt's kitchen and demands he return the spare key, and everything he's kept buried begins to resurface.
Aunt Maggie asks them to endure each other's company long enough to help her get well. Trevor has one last chance to claim his true mate and maybe to be a whole wolf again, but first he must prove himself trustworthy. Kelsey longs to rekindle old friendships in the wolf community and, most of all, to belong with Trevor again, but her wolf sent her away once. How can she trust he won't do it again?
